What does "VI" Stand for in VI Peel?
The “VI” in VI Peel stands for “Vitality Institute,” which is the name of the company that developed and manufactures the VI Peel. The VI Peel is a specific brand of chemical peel known for its effectiveness in skin rejuvenation and is named after the company that created it.
Common Aesthetic Concerns Addressed by a VI Peel:
- Acne scars
- Wrinkles
- Sun damage
- Uneven skin texture
- Hyperpigmentation
- Dull complexion
How Does a VI Peel Work?
A VI Peel works through a combination of exfoliation, skin rejuvenation, and stimulation of collagen production. Here’s how it works:
Exfoliation: The VI Peel contains a blend of powerful exfoliating agents, such as salicylic acid, TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid), phenol, and retin-A. These ingredients work together to remove the top layer of dead and damaged skin cells, which can be dull, discolored, or have imperfections.
Stimulation of Collagen: The VI Peel also includes ingredients like vitamin C and other antioxidants that stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. Collagen is a crucial protein that provides structural support to the skin, making it firmer and more youthful in appearance.
Targeting Skin Issues: VI Peels are available in various formulations to target specific skin concerns, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and more. The specific ingredients in the peel are chosen based on the desired outcome, and they penetrate the skin to address these concerns.
Post-Peel Recovery: After a VI Peel, the top layer of skin will naturally peel away over several days. This process reveals the newer, healthier skin beneath. It’s essential to follow post-peel instructions to protect the skin during this recovery phase.
Results: Patients typically notice improved skin texture, reduced hyperpigmentation, diminished fine lines, and an overall more youthful and radiant complexion. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results.
Benefits of a VI Peel:
Improved Skin Texture: The VI Peel promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells, leading to smoother and softer skin.
Even Skin Tone: It can help reduce the appearance of pigmentation irregularities, such as sunspots, melasma, and hyperpigmentation.
Reduced Acne and Acne Scars: VI Peels are effective in treating acne and can help minimize the appearance of acne scars.
Fine Line and Wrinkle Reduction: This peel can diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful look.
Minimal Downtime: While some peeling and redness may occur in the days following the treatment, the downtime is typically shorter than with more aggressive peels.
Safe for Various Skin Types: VI Peels are suitable for different skin types and tones.
Customizable: VI Peels come in different formulations, allowing our providers to tailor the treatment to your individual skin concerns.
Quick Procedure: The treatment can often be completed in as little as 30 minutes.
The Science Behind a VI Peel:
The science behind a VI Peel involves a carefully formulated combination of key ingredients and acids. Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) serves as the primary exfoliant, working to remove the top layers of damaged skin cells and stimulate skin cell turnover. This process reveals fresher, healthier skin beneath the surface. Salicylic Acid, a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), penetrates the pores to unclog them and improve skin texture. Retin-A (Tretinoin), a form of vitamin A, promotes collagen production and skin cell renewal, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and enhancing skin tone. Vitamin C, an antioxidant, protects the skin from free radical damage, brightens the complexion, and boosts collagen production. Phenol, a potent exfoliant, targets deep wrinkles and severe skin damage. This combination of ingredients addresses a range of aesthetic concerns, including acne, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and signs of aging, resulting in improved skin texture and tone. The VI Peel is a non-invasive, customizable treatment that is typically administered in a series of sessions to achieve optimal results for various skin types and concerns.
